A committee set up in the United States to protect the Belfast Agreement has warned the incoming Northern Ireland Secretary that a future US-UK trade deal will be “all but impossible” if the peace accord is undermined.

It includes 5 former US ambassadors to Ireland
Whatever Trump is saying (can do 3 or 4 times better than...what? There is no trade deal between the EU and the US)

“But any trade deal between Britain and the US – whether or not Mr Trump remains in the Oval Office after next year’s election – needs the sign-off of Congress”
“The Trump administration is currently struggling to secure congressional approval for its revised Nafta agreement – an existing trade accord between the United States, Mexico and Canada which is relatively uncontentious..”

Full story.

I know the @ICOnews now has the UKIP database after a prolonged period of appeals.

So I have an additional piece of the jigsaw to add to the Matthew Richardson advice and it’s timing.

@carolecadwalla
2/ On 11th November 2015 Richardson, who is a barrister, & had been UKIP’s General Secretary, so likely to have been involved in the writing of legal policy documents relating to data protection, expressed unease to Julian Wheatland about “what line to take” about data origin
3/. SCL/CA wanted clarification that the data they already had accessed & processed (received in October 2019 ) from Kaiser’s original evidence)had been passed to them legally

She said that the data arrived in SCL London in the form of processing towers, not copied hard drives!

FactCheck: we can’t find evidence that Dominic Raab warned of no-deal Brexit – Channel 4 News

FactCheck has searched the Vote Leave website, Mr Raab’s personal site, various BBC web pages, online newspaper archives, YouTube and elsewhere.

channel4.com/news/factcheck…
2/. We’ve listened to as many clips as we can find of interviews given by Mr Raab and Mr Gove between February 2016, when the EU referendum campaign unofficially began
3/. We can’t find an interview where Mr Raab warned explicitly about the possibility of a no-deal Brexit during the referendum campaign.

“Worryingly, the report forecasts that child poverty will rise further in the coming years - echoing the findings of our 2019 Living Standards Outlook, which projected a rise by a further 6 percentage points by 2023-24 (a record high on existing data) “
The article 50 period, 2017-19, has not been a good one for household income growth

Despite some small recent improvements (re inflation)the future prospects look weak with some social groups particularly at risk

Families with children
Single adults
Social renters
Mortgagors.
Summarised pithily by @GuitarMoog from a Guardian article on the same subject.

While there is widespread disagreement about whether the EU will blink or not over #Brexit (spoiler alert: the bloc is more flexible than it wants to indicate right now) it’s arguably more useful to think what kind of eventual ‘concessions’ we might be talking about from the EU 1
It’s true the EU has a history of blinking in the last moment BUT only in its own interest. In the Greek debt crisis the bloc chose to keep Greece in the eurozone in order (leaders thought) to better protect the whole currency 2
When I say EU will be more flexible than seems right now, I don’t mean ditching the backstop. EU leaders want to protect the single market. They earn more from it than from trade with UK alone. Protecting border on island of Ireland = protecting SM as well as NI peace process 3
